UTS FACULTY OF NURSING, MIDWIFERY & HEALTH AND THE BINAWAN INSTITUTE OF HEALTH SCIENCE RELATIONSHIP STATEMENT

The University of Technology, Sydney Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Health (UTS) and the Binawan Institute of Health Science (BIHS) have an established relationship. Through a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2005, UTS has helped Binawan develop an international-quality Bachelor of Nursing (International) course at the BIHS.

Students who have successfully complete the BIHS Bachelor of Nursing (International) may apply to enter the UTS Bachelor of Nursing following the completion of a Direct English Entry Programme at the UTS Sydney based subsidiary, Insearch. Students must have an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) equivalent score of 6.5 overall and writing score of 6.0 to be admitted to UTS.

Each student's application for recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) will be considered on an individual basis by UTS. RPL is currently established as equivalent to 4 academic semesters study in UTS.

Therefore BIHS students will normally undertake a shortened programme of study at UTS over two academic semesters or one year. Recognition of prior learning at UTS remains contingent on UTS continuing to monitor the quality, and the compatibility of BIHS programmes for which RPL is granted.
